Though it has been 8 years because the final Deus Ex sport (9 in the event you don’t depend Deux Ex: Breach) it looks like Eidos-Montreal is actively attempting to get a brand new sport within the collection made.
That’s in keeping with a brand new report by Mike Straw of Insider Gaming. Whereas engaged on getting some particulars behind the corporate’s latest layoffs, Mike apparently stumbled throughout some intriguing details about Deus Ex.
Straw realized that Eidos-Montreal has been “pitching the brand new sport often” to exterior publishers and potential companions. Nevertheless, no person appears to be biting.
The reason being that some publishers consider the collection is just too area of interest, whereas others “aren’t keen to tackle the monetary danger that comes with the Deus Ex franchise for the time being.”
The report additionally notes that this could be a completely new Deus Ex sport not associated to the one which was being labored on below the Embracer group a couple of years again. That venture was formally cancelled in 2024 as a part of Embracer’s restructuring.
What the report doesn’t clarify is why Eidos-Montreal themselves aren’t making the sport, or why one other inner Embracer studio is keen to do it. Maybe Embracer doesn’t see any potential in it, both, and can solely agree if some outdoors writer is keen to take the monetary danger.
Or it could possibly be as a result of one supply instructed Insider Gaming that the pitch did doesn’t meet “expectations or requirements sometimes related to the Deus Ex model”. Ouch.
